This is a bet worth following. One of my friends and a serious thinker, Brad Frazer, has been beating the drum on the copyright and digital ownership issues for the past two years. It’s complicated. We continue to wait and see how it will play out. This is an interesting add. “The arrival of the internet unleashed a wave of creativity as users found new ways to make and mix culture, but it also delivered an economic blow to authors, musicians, and news outlets. Much of the revenue that had once flowed to content producers got gobbled by tech platforms like Facebook and Google. Now, at the dawn of the AI age, many fear the same type of economic disruption is poised to happen again.” “Andreessen Horowitz has led an $80 million investment in the blockchain startup Story, aiming to prevent AI-driven intellectual property theft. Story, valued at $2.25 billion, uses blockchain technology to help creators authenticate and manage their IP, addressing concerns about AI models using copyrighted content without permission. The funding round also saw participation from Polychain and other investors. Story's platform allows creators to securely store IP and automate licensing and royalty-sharing through smart contracts, potentially transforming how IP is managed in the AI era.” #ai #genai Paul W.

✨ Transforming the Publishing Industry: The Blockchain Revolution 📚🚀 The publishing industry faces growing challenges: piracy, delayed royalty payments, and limited global access for authors. Blockchain offers an innovative solution to these issues, transforming how content is created, distributed, and monetized. 💡🔗 Blockchain’s transparent, tamper-proof records can track every sale in real-time, ensuring authors receive fair and timely payments through automated smart contracts. This eliminates delays and reduces disputes, creating a more efficient royalty distribution process. ⏳💰 With enhanced digital rights management, blockchain empowers authors, giving them control and security over their intellectual property, effectively preventing unauthorized use or piracy. 🔒✍️ Decentralized platforms not only empower authors but also foster a direct connection with global audiences, bypassing intermediaries and opening new opportunities for exposure and revenue. 🌍📖 This connection makes authors feel more engaged with their readers. ❤️✨ Tokenization, a blockchain feature, introduces an exciting possibility for authors—offering fractional ownership of their works.
